Your account gets flagged for excessive roaming when more than 50% of your data usage is roaming. If you’re like me, at home you’re on WiFi most of the time and don’t use a lot of cellular data.

The “special rate” 25¢/min for each phone. To avoid this, use a VoIP app like FaceTime, Viber or Signal.
